  4. 目前软件可以圈选涂鸦,识别出文本,但有所不便。建议增加选项让用户能直接将圈选的文字转换成含有标准字体文本的文本框存在于文档中。
    此外还建议圈选区域不限于涂鸦,而是任意区域都可以圈选出截图供复制和拖拽到其它笔记或者应用中。

    Currently, software can circle doodles to recognize text, but with some inconvenience. It is suggested that an option be added to allow users to directly convert circled text into text boxes with standard font text to exist in the document.
    It is also suggested that the circled area is not limited to doodles, but any area can be circled to select screenshots for copying and dragging to other notes or applications.

  5. 1.在输入科学公式、方程方面软件目前没有好的解决方案,建议支持插入LaTex公式输入,手写识别时能支持将手写内容经过OCR识别直接转化为美观的公式样式。推荐一个在科学公式识别方面做的非常好的公司,他们的服务可以廉价提供,他们的网站是:https://mathpix.com/

    2.在文本框编辑状态下,软件无法兼容苹果笔的“随手写”功能,该功能可以实时进行手写识别完成文本输入。

    1. Currently, there is no good solution for the input of scientific formulas and equations. It is suggested that LaTex formula input should be supported and handwritten content can be directly transformed into a beautiful formula style through OCR recognition. Recommend a company that does a really good job of identifying scientific formulas, and their service is available on the cheap, at https://mathpix.com/

  6. Often I write something indented and then decide to later to move it somewhere else aligned with the left. However, now it is shorter than the other lines, and so it would be handy if when lasso handwritten text you could also change the horizontal spread. Like how changing margins on a word document will redistribute the text to fit the new margins.

    I imagine this could be simple if the code can already detect and separate individual handwritten words. Otherwise, it would probably be too much work and maybe even require some ML.

  9. This idea is taken from other existing apps like Documents for iOS. When using the highlighter with text the colored line snaps to text automatically, in this way you have not to worry about going outside the line.

    See the GIF to understand what I mean or try the Documents app

    I would maintain the awesome straight line highlighting feature of GoodNote but I would add a new button for this new one or maybe as an option of the actual highlighter.

    Thanks a lot and if you like this feature vote it!

  10. The quality of imported images is really really bad! I can‘t read it sometimes or annotate anything because it has so many pixels.

  11. Now we can use the red bookmark feature to highlight a page or the red star button for folders. However it would make it even better if one could change colors of those bookmarks and therefore find them in different areas, like with MacOS (see attached image).

  12. This would change a lot! There are a few options to have your work synced to a backup folder, however there is no option for icloud. As many users probably use icloud for their backup-system this would help a lot!

    Thank you

  13. Not sure how to describe this. But it is a hassle sometimes, that whenever i draw a graph for example and use different colors and sizes etc. to annotate it and then release i need to erase something which happens to cross over the lines of my graph, the graph would get erased as well.

    So maybe an option to pin something like on Canva so it can‘t be edited anymore.

  14. The text function needs improvement in my opinion. I would like it if there was an option for automatic bullets with an index instead of spacebar + - (see attached image)
    This would make the text more pleasing to write and look at.

    Furthermore, when I copy and paste text boxes e.g. the „bold“ font disappears and i have to turn words/sentences bold again. An improvement would make my work way faster.

    It‘s a small detail, but it seems that whenever i type the text and i want to edit the first word or add a word in front of…

  15. Maybe being able to click and see like a thumbnail of your „dashboard / homepage“ in order to switch between documents faster instead of returning and and pressing on the „back“ button couple of times to get out of your folders to the main page.

  16. It is really upsetting that I cant drag and drop any image or text onto the next page. It takes so much time and effort to copy paste the text and then go to the next page and insert and then go back to the previous page to delete the text.
    This would increase everybody‘s workflow a lot!

  18. Every time I copy or do screen capture, it takes me 3 steps from different buttons to copy the picture, so my hand needs to move up, top right for copying.... can streamline for copying process?

    Also, every time I change color, I need to move my pen from left to right for selecting different color, is it possible to allocate the changing color just under "pen" button? So my hand can move less for that action?

  19. It would be nice if there were a way to index all pages written and make them available where one finds Thumbnails / Favorites / Outlines a way to go quickly review and find.

    I will use when I have a normal document with a lot of pages, and I have to write some notes, o highlight something, and then quickly find in the documents my notes.
